The classic definition of a kingdom is territory over which a king or queen has authority. Within a kingdom, the royalty has the right to rule, govern, and issue commands. The Bible tells us satan has a kingdom. Jesus called him the ruler of this world(john12:31). Paul said he was a prince with power of the air. The devil rules the atmosphere in which we live and breathe. His ideas influence conversations we hear and shapes much of the content in todays movies, tv programs and music. Satan is willing to use anyone and anything to convey his diabolical messages and he also has followers to do his bidding. He also seeks to lure people into his service. As paul said his spirit now works in the sons of disobedience. Many people without knowing it come under this satanic influence. Yet the kingdom of darkness has limits, and satan can be defeated. Its crucial that we not be ignorant of his devices(2corinthians2:11). This means we cant walk according to the course of this world or seek to fulfill the desires of the flesh and the mind. Instead, we must live under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Today, remember that God has given you the tools to defeat satan. But you must fill your life with Gods Word and fight in the power of His Spirit. Declare the promises of Scripture, and let them shape your thoughts. Be ready to exercise the authority God has given you. Be careful what you allow into your life through tv, internet and other media. As a member of Gods Kingdom, you can be victorious in the name of Jesus!
